In this show, we used immense collaboration with the cast to create scenes to bring to life a Thanksgiving dinner, narrated by two sports commentators. We experimented with abstract movement inspired by Thanksgiving traditions, classic sports, and everything beyond and in-between. Without any stage directions and no props, A Beautiful Day in November... challenged me to think outside the box and create a piece of theatre that was completely unique.
